All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

First, I was taught how to stand on the beach, and since we were facing the ocean, even beginners were able to ride the waves! There were multiple instructors watching over us, so I felt safe while having fun!

はじめに浜で立ち方を教えてもらって、海に向かうので、初心者でも波にのる事ができました！先生も複数人いて、全体を見てて貰えるので安心して遊ぶ事が出来ます！

Everything was GREAT! Everything was right on schedule. Great host, such a smooth ride. Our captain gave great tips and the bartender kept the drinks coming. It's a great ride to get a whole view of wakiki Beach

I participated in early November. Since I made a last-minute reservation, I didn't check the reviews or precautions much and joined without sunglasses, but you should definitely bring them! The sun was strong for about an hour from the meeting time, and I got really sunburned, so sunscreen is a must. I took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick, but the boat was quite rocky at times. We got splashed with water in the areas with big waves, but it was exciting and fun. The drinks were unlimited with a cup exchange, and at the end, we even received mini raffles. In our group, there was only one other Japanese couple, and there were more people from Europe and the United States than from Asia. Everyone was friendly, and we were able to take photos together. The strong wind made my hair a mess. It felt a bit pricey due to the weak yen, but the sunset was beautiful, and I'm glad I participated!

11月上旬に参加しました。直前にドタバタ予約したため口コミや注意事項をあまり確認せずグラサンなしで参加しましたが、絶対持っていってください笑
集合時間〜１時間ぐらいは日差しが強く、日焼けが凄かったので、日焼け止めも必須です。酔い止めは飲んでいたので船酔いはありませんでしたが、途中は揺れが大きかったです。波が大きいところでは水に濡れたりもしましたが、盛り上がって楽しかったです。ドリンクもコップ交換で飲み放題で、最後にミニのラッフルズなどもいただきました。私たちが乗った回は日本の方が他に1組しかおらず、アジア圏よりも欧米の方が多かったです。みなさんフレンドリーで写真を取り合ったりできました。強風で髪の毛はボッサボサになります。円安すぎてお高めに感じましたが、サンセットもキレイで参加して良かったです！

It was a very enjoyable show. The composition was good, and it had a Hawaiian feel, which made me satisfied. Since it's an indoor theater, the acoustics and visibility are great, and the seats are spacious, which I think is nice.

とても楽しいショーでした。構成もよくハワイらしさもあり満足です。
屋内のシアターなので音響、見通しもよく席もゆったりしているので良いと思います。

As a couple in our 60s, we had concerns about our physical ability and skills, but we were given careful instruction. It felt amazing to travel a long distance while feeling the wind, which would have been difficult on foot. The explanations were detailed, and we were surprised. Thank you for the enjoyable time.

60代夫婦で体力や技術に不安がありましたが、丁寧に練習していただきました。
歩いては難しい長い距離を風を感じて移動するのら最高に気持ち良かったです。説明も詳しくて、驚きました。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

The window-side seat on the top floor had a great view and the food was delicious. However, the size of the steak was clearly smaller than those at the surrounding tables, which was disappointing. Additionally, they did not bring water to us or other Japanese guests.

I felt a bit sad about various things, but the evening and night views were wonderful, and we could see the fireworks well, so I think it was still a good experience. I believe those who participate can enjoy it if they have a relaxed mindset.

窓際席、一番上の階で景色も良くお料理も美味しかったです。しかし、ステーキの大きさが周りのテーブルより明らかに小さく、残念な気持ちになりました。また、私たちや他の日本人にはお水を持ってきてくれませんでした。
色々悲しい気持ちでしたが、夕景、夜景は素晴らしく花火も良く観れたので良かったのかなとは思います。
参加される方は心にゆとりがあれば楽しめるとは思います。

I took a taxi to Hilton Hawaiian Village, which was fine, but I was nervous because I didn't know where the meeting place was...

I think it would be reassuring to have prior information like, "After passing through the hotel entrance, there will be a boat docked towards the beach."

On the 10:00 trip, even at a depth of 30 meters, it was bright, and I could see many fish, which was a lot of fun! I was hoping to see a honu (sea turtle), but unfortunately, that didn't happen... Since my elderly mother was with me, we didn't do any marine activities, but it was great to be able to explore underwater in a submarine, which is something you can't easily experience in Japan.

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまでタクシーで向かったのはいいのですが…
集合場所がわからずドキドキしました。。

「ホテルの入り口を抜けて、ビーチに向かった所に船が停まっている」
などの事前案内があったら安心だと思う。

10:00の便で、海底30mでも明るく
たくさんの魚が見れてとても楽しかった♪
ホヌに会えるのを願ってましたが…叶わず。。
高齢の母も一緒だったので、マリンアクティビティは一切なかったので、日本ではなかなか体験できない潜水艦で、水中散策ができたのでよかったです。

We loved this so much that we have booked again before we leave. Best mai tai i’ve tasted, friendly crew, beautiful going out on the open sea and even saw dolphins beside us! Thank you for such a fun experience!

I have visited Honolulu many times and enjoyed gourmet experiences at tourist spots like North Shore, Manoa, and Kailua in the past. This time, I experienced a 90-minute sailing on the sea of Honolulu. During check-in, a lovely woman provided a detailed explanation, and on board, a cheerful male crew member offered various services. It was amazing to see the scenery from the sea, looking at the city of Honolulu, the hotels, Diamond Head, and the Pacific Ocean, which I usually viewed from the land. Although the weather wasn't perfectly sunny, I didn't get sunburned and enjoyed the pleasant sea breeze along with delicious free drinks served by the staff. I had beer, cocktails, white wine, and champagne, feeling pleasantly tipsy. With a capacity of 42 people, there were 14 of us (6 Japanese, 2 Australians, and others), and we had a wonderful time taking photos and chatting (I conversed with an Australian family).

何回もホノルルへ来ていて、過去ノースショア・マノア・カイルアなどの観光地でグルメ中心に楽しんでいました。今回、ホノルルの海を90分のセーリングを経験。チェックインでは、ハーフの素敵な女性が丁寧に説明してくれ、乗船では明るい男性乗船が色々なサービスをしてくれ、いつもは街から見ていた風景を、海からホノルルの街やホテル・ダイヤモンド・太平洋を見ることができ、最高でした。天候は快晴ではなかったけど、日焼けせず、心地よい海風と美味しいフリードリンクを、スタッフがサーブしてくれ、ビール・カクテル・白ワイン・シャンパンを飲み、ほろ酔い加減。42名？の定員で、14名(日本人6、オーストラリア人2他)で、写真を取り合ったり、おしゃべりしたり(当方オーストラリア人の親子と歓談)と素敵な時間でした。

We participated with three children, including a one-year-old, and two adults. Other activities that included dolphin encounters and snorkeling seemed too expensive, and I thought the snorkeling might scare the kids. Additionally, there were limited boat activities available for a one-year-old, so I thought this sailing would be just right and made a reservation. The size of the boat and the duration of the trip were perfect for the kids, and by chance, we were able to see a school of flying fish and a turtle, which was exciting. The waves made the boat bounce, and the splashes of water were fun for the elementary school kids, while the preschooler clung to me in fear. I couldn't let the one-year-old roam freely, but they fell asleep partway through, allowing us to enjoy the ride at a leisurely pace. It became a very enjoyable memory.

1歳を含む3人の子供と大人2人で参加しました。他にあるイルカ遭遇やシュノーケル付きのアクティビティではシュノーケルはまだ子供が怖がるのと料金が高いと思っていました。また1歳が参加できる乗船のアクティビティも限られてたので、今回のセーリングがちょうど良いと思い予約しました。船内の広さや乗船時間も子供達にもちょうどよく、偶然だと思いますがトビウオの群れやカメも見ることができて興奮しました。波で船がはずんで水飛沫がかかります。小学生にはそれが楽しく、保育園児は怖がって私にしがみついていました。1歳児は自由にはさせられませんが、途中から寝てくれたのでゆっくり乗船できました。とても楽しい思い出になりました。

This tour is conducted in English, but even if your English isn't very good, they kindly assist you using translation software. When purchasing tickets or entering, the driver had informed us in advance that we should buy tickets together with the foreign guests who joined us as part of the same group, which made things really easy. Above all, it's a great value! Compared to Japanese-speaking shuttle tours, it's truly reasonable. There was plenty of time to enjoy, so we were able to relax on the beach until it was time for pickup!

こちらのツアーは、英語での案内になりますが、
英語がそんなにできなくても、翻訳ソフトなどを使って、親切に教えてくれます。実際にチケットを購入したり、入場する際も、相乗りしてきた外国人の方に同一グループとして一緒に購入してあげて欲しいと、あらかじめドライバーさんから申し伝わっているので、本当に楽でした。何よりも、コスパがいい！日本語対応の送迎ツアーと比べて本当にリーズナブル。滞在時間もたっぷりあるので、お迎えまでビーチでゆっくりできました！

I came back and had a Mai Tai at home, but I miss the Mai Tai from that boat. Last time, the sea was rough and I couldn't ride, but I'm very satisfied this time.

帰ってきて、家でマイタイ呑みましたが、あの船のマイタイが恋しくてmissingです
前回、海が荒れて乗れなかったのですが大満足です。

You can enjoy a wonderful sunset cruise while admiring Diamond Head on a uniquely shaped boat that is hard to find in Japan. We start with a toast as Mai Tai cocktails flow from the tap! (If you don't drink, you can choose something else.) Other alcoholic beverages are also all-you-can-drink, allowing you to spend a pleasant time feeling the breeze in an open space.

The boarding area is near a power spot called Kavehevehe, so be sure to check it out before or after your cruise. It will cleanse both your mind and body!

The meeting point is just a short walk through the Sheraton Hotel, making it especially recommended if you're staying at a hotel near the Sheraton!

なかなか日本ではお目にかからない形の船に乗り、ダイアモンドヘッドを眺めながら素敵なサンセットクルーズができます。
マイタイカクテルが蛇口から出るスタイルで最初に乾杯します！（飲めない方は別の選べます）
ほかのアルコールも飲み放題で、開放的な空間で風を感じながら気持ちの良いひと時を過ごせます。
乗り場はカヴェヘヴェヘというパワースポットが近くなので、前後でぜひ行ってみてください。心身ともに浄化されます！

シェラトンホテルの中を突っ切っていけばすぐの待ち合わせ場所で、シェラトン近辺のホテル宿泊なら特にお勧めします！

Most of the time it was snorkeling in the water where you can see most of the tiny fishes swimming around. I saw a turtle far away when I came on the boat but still was hard to see (even in the camera). Just saw a turtle do a back flip from a 500 meter distance from our boat. To see it very close or in the water while snorkeling, I think it is mostly luck but had a good time with other people on the boat with drinks and snacks too!

The sunset cruise was absolutely gorgeous and worth of your time. It was our anniversary with my wife and had a wonderful evening with the awesome Hula show and with the friendly crew members on board. Customer service was excellent and we will be coming back shortly. Food was of course great too and my favorite part was the BBQ chicken with the MaiTai cocktail!

From the photos, the cheaper options have a beer garden-like atmosphere. I chose the most expensive one. There were many people celebrating honeymoons or anniversaries, creating a calm yet lively ambiance with live piano and saxophone music.

Great experience, the staff on the boat were really personable and experienced.
Reminder to those going on the catamaran, wear shorts or something you don’t mind getting wet, no denim or something that will take. Whole to dry as you have to walk through the water to get on the boat and you have to time the stair climb with the waves.
I would recommend this cruise to anyone. The instructions on where to check in were clear and there was a water tap to rinse our feet off after which was nice. This catamaran was smaller than any others I had been on which was great for easy on and off. The mai tai’s were really good too!! Much better than some of the hotel bars we have had.

The wind, the sunset, and Mai Tai!! Enjoying champagne while gazing at the streets of Honolulu, the rainbow, and the setting sun was just the best. It was an extraordinary experience. I definitely want to participate again next time! ^_^

風と夕日とマイタイ‼️ホノルルの街並み、虹、沈む夕日を眺めながらのシャンパン、もう最高でした。非日常の世界でした。次回も是非参加したいです^_^

Booked whilst in Australia, on the night it was easy to locate, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food and drink were plentiful and more than expected. The entertainment was very good and as whole the night was a fantastic event. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good meal and a show.

We thoroughly enjoyed the show! Would have loved more.

[VELTRA Staff Experience]
I had a spectacular experience at the Na Lei Aloha Show! The location is within walking distance from most hotels in Waikiki. The food was the best I've ever had at a luau. The all-you-can-eat buffet at Hyatt Hotel features perfectly cooked prime ribs, short ribs, and pork ribs. It's a seafood lover's paradise! They have high quality snow crab legs, made-to-order sushi, poke station, an incredible variety of salads, hot dishes, and an impressive selection of desserts. It’s hard to pick favorites because every dish was outstanding, I can't wait to go back.

The setting had a lovely intimate atmosphere, and the servers were attentive to every detail. The show was absolutely delightful, highlighting Hawaiian culture and the significance of the Lei, showcasing a wide array of flowers used to create these meaningful flower necklaces. The dancers were incredibly talented, and the storytelling was captivating—I couldn't stop smiling!

As we walked in we were greeted with a beautiful cold lei that made us feel welcomed. The location was perfect for Waikiki away from the crowds with stunning views of the ocean/sunset. The food was truly out of this world from just about every thing you could possibly think of. Sushi, meats, a quality salad bar, Korean BBQ, and not to mention the yummy dessert bar. Food for every pallet in the family.

The show was truly engaging, sweet, and wholesome. Based on the history of Waikiki and the importance of flowers being made into leis. Not like any other show i've seen on island. The duration of the activity was perfect, not too long not too short didn't feel rushed to eat or didn't feel like the show was dragging on. Would definitely recommend this for couples and friends looking to celebrate in a unique way.

I thought I would have to join a half-day tour to see sea turtles, but I found a tour in the Waikiki area that only took about 2 to 3 hours, and it was really great.

The instructor continuously pointed out where the sea turtles were while we were snorkeling, so it was easy to follow along and see them! I was very happy to swim with several sea turtles. I plan to request this tour again when I go back to Hawaii.

半日かけたツアーに参加しないとウミガメには会えないかなと思っていたのですが、ワイキキ界隈で2、3時間程度で催行してくれるツアーでとても良かったです。

インストラクターの方が、ウミガメいる場所を随時教えてくれながらのシュノーケリングだった為、ついていけば会える！が叶えられました。何匹ものウミガメと、一緒に泳げたのがとても嬉しかったです。またハワイに行ったらお願いしようと思います。

During Dinner Everyone So Kind and Nice !! We had our baby and a stroller and they went above and beyond to help us feel welcome. They were extra kind to our little one. A good family vibe.

Celebrating my wife's birthday on the Star of Honolulu! It was organized from the time we were picked up at our hotel by bus to being seated at our reserved table. The ship is divided by what package you purchase (excellent idea). We got a chance to watch fireworks from the Hilton Hawaiian Hotel beach. But was wonderful was the breezes off the ocean in addition to the wonderful sunset while you have your meal. Your meal is brought to your table by the fantastic wait staff. Live music is performed while dining. Later, there is a hula/chaka show. Before you know it, the night is over. My wife received a special birthday cake that was light as a feather and delicious. We ended our stay in Oahu with this dinner cruise. Best time spent. Would do it again just for the sunsets.

We purchased tickets for the show only but walked past the all-you-can-eat buffet and I must say, it looked very good.
The show was very entertaining and well worth the money. I'd recommend this to anyone.

Fantastic firework show .The crew was amazing. Great music .took my mom for her 85th birthday and she had the time of her life. The drinks kept coming.The fireworks show was fantastic.Everyone was pleasant.Would definitely do this excursion again!
I Recommend highly.

I capped off our 20th wedding anniversary with this Sunset Cruise. My wife and I were tremendously pleased with everything from start to finish. From the greetings to fireworks everything was on point. The food was delicious and the wait staff was impeccable. The live jazz music was great. I recommend you get the luxury experience with all the options. We enjoyed the 5 star treatment. It was classy and sophisticated. This will be a very memorable experience.

I went on the first day of our arrival in Hawaii with my mom! It was so much fun! I'm glad we went on the first day, feeling like "We made it to Hawaii!"

お母さんと2人でハワイ到着日に行きました！
楽しかったー！ハワイきました！って感じで初日に行って良かったです！

It was a bit cramped, but there wasn't any shaking, and there were lots of cute fish at the artificial reef, making for a very meaningful time. However, I probably wouldn't go on it a second time. The boat to the submarine was nice too! I definitely recommend it.

ちょっと狭いけど特に揺れたりすることもなく人工魚礁に可愛い魚が一杯でとても有意義な時間でした。
でも二回乗ることはないかな
潜水艦までの船も良かったね～
けっこうお勧めてすよ
